#352 of 381 2002 Frontier XE 2.4 by mdawg25 Sep 11, 2008 (6:56 pm)
I am looking at buying a 4-banger frontier. There's a black 2002 in my area with 70,000 miles for $8,400. First, is this a good deal for this particular truck? Also, is there any common problems for this model I should look for on the test drive? I know there was something with belts squeaking, but anything else I should look/listen/smell for?

Replying to: mdawg25 (Sep 11, 2008 6:56 pm) "Deal" is a relative term. Have you checked out prices on cars.com for prices on similar vehicles in your area or within 250 miles? When I looked at 02's w/ 2.4L the prices are all over the map, but in a general sense 8400 seems very high IMHO, but that may not be so in your area. For instance in my area a dealer named Cars Plus located in listing a 2002 2.4L 2002 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab - $6,900, but the KKB trade-in value [www.kbb.com] is $4700 if in excellent condition in my neck of the woods. I guarantee he has a markup of at least 2k, if not 2.5k. Knowing that going in I might initially offer $5000 and set my limit at say $5500. You have to be prepared to WALK AWAY from any deal and remember, if you don't ask, I guarantee you will not receive.

Replying to: smpathy01se (Sep 12, 2008 9:36 am) That seems to be the going rate for these around here. It has fairl low miles (for this old) and it's from a dealer, so it'll be naturally higher. It's actually the lowest priced Frontier on cars.com. I was asking the first question more from a reliability standpoint. Do you know of any common problems I should look for on a test drive or what tends to go first on these trucks?

Replying to: mdawg25 (Sep 12, 2008 7:59 pm) I don't know anything to look for. I haven't owned a 2.4L nissan based truck since a 94 Hardbody I sold 2 years later (1996) and even then that engine was considered to be rock solid, but underpowered.

Anyone had any recent success in negotiating a good price on an '08?
#360 of 381 This a good deal on a new 2008 SE CC VTP by flipexed1 Mar 04, 2009 (9:51 pm)
2008 SE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB w/VTP + Tow Package for $22,718 from Fife Nissan.   The Edmunds TMV is $25,139   Good deal? I'm going to see them on Friday to make the purchase. I hope they don't get me on the trade (crossing fingers). Replies to this message: jfritsch (Mar 05, 2009 4:37 am)

Replying to: flipexed1 (Mar 04, 2009 9:51 pm) Who is "them"? Email 10 or so dealers within 100 mi or so last week of the month. Now if you need a car immediately. Describe your trade (dings etc amount owed on it) and set your price at kbb good condition. (kbb.com) See chart on kbb on grading. Have them all compete on the difference owed towards the new purchase. Give the top 3 or so your cell. Use simular deals from distant dealers to beat the locals over the head with.   You can't get screwed as the best deal you can work at this time is the best deal you can work at this time.   As you have seen TMV has cost people thousands as you seem to have easily beat it with possibly little effort   A used 08 Frontier like your 09 (auto, 28000 msrp) has a trade in value of about $19000. The value of the Frontier holds up well. You are in the ballpark but you would like 22000 or less (or more on your trade)in the biggest auto armageddeon in 25 years. In any event, with a trade the winner is your best difference owed, not just price.   Good luck --jjf   Also check out the honda ridgeline awd as it is a nice piece also if you don't need full 4wd.   2008 SE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB w/VTP + Tow Package for $22,718 from Fife Nissan.    The Edmunds TMV is $25,139    Good deal? I'm going to see them on Friday to make the purchase. I hope they don't get me on the trade (crossing fingers).
